Chapter 304 Heading

Feng Meng and a dozen other men had had dinner at Shen Qing's house last time and still remembered it vividly. This time, when they heard that they were asked to go directly to Shen Qing's house and that the food was already prepared, they were very excited.

When I saw the goose stewed in the big iron pot, the goose was soft and boneless, and the cabbage, radish and other vegetables were soaked up with the rich aroma of the soup, I felt that I couldn't walk at all after running around for more than ten hours and eating only dry food.

My brain knew I shouldn't stare at the pot with such greed, but my eyes wouldn't listen.

His mouth was drooling uncontrollably, and Feng Meng wanted to slap it in the face to stop the drooling!

Shen Qing smiled and greeted, "Are you hungry? It's warm now. Choose whatever you want to eat."

Can you choose by yourself?

The group of men just discovered that there was mutton soup boiling in the pot next to them, and the staple foods included corn cakes and hand-rolled noodles.

On weekdays, you would definitely eat hand-rolled noodles, after all, it is a refined grain, but the iron pot stewed goose has to be served with corn pancakes to be more delicious!

Especially when you put corn cakes into goose soup and soak them for a while, letting them absorb the soup of stewed goose, oh, the taste is really worth the meat.

They were all extremely hungry, and soon they started eating from large bowls.

Jiang Yu, Jiang Shui, Xiang Bei and a few others were helping out. Whoever wanted to add pancakes, noodles or mutton soup didn't have to do anything; it could be added directly to the bowl.

After eating until he was very full and reluctantly putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Shen Qing asked what he had discovered.

Jiang Yujiang and Xiangbei were cleaning up the dishes while paying attention to their conversation and listening carefully.

Huo Bing understood what Shen Qing was concerned about and briefly explained the key points.

Shen Qing pondered for a moment and said in embarrassment: "We don't have much time left. If we set off tomorrow, you——"

"Aunt, we're fine. We can leave tonight!"

"After eating and drinking, we are full of energy again. If you are really worried that we will run out of energy and delay things, then take a nap. We will set off at midnight and keep it the same as before."

"Yes, there are still three hours until midnight, which is enough time to recover my strength."

Many men hurriedly expressed their opinions.

They have nothing but strength!

It’s only one night. When I was rushing to harvest before, I tried not sleeping for three days and three nights or only took a short nap, but I still managed to get through it, didn’t I?

That’s nothing.

Shen Qing felt that things had their priorities, but he couldn't ignore his health either. He just had to arrive in the morning so that he could bring everyone back to the village before evening, and the most important step would be accomplished.

She calculated the time. It was probably around four or five in the afternoon. A Bing and the others had been traveling for more than twenty hours. They estimated that they would fall asleep as soon as they got back to bed.

We will depart at four o'clock tomorrow morning, and I can still sleep for eleven or twelve hours, which is almost enough to restore my strength. Even if it is not enough, I can catch up on my sleep in the carriage.

After thinking it over and making up her mind, she said, "You guys go home and sleep. Tomorrow morning at three o'clock in the morning, drive your donkey carts and gather at the village entrance. We will set off together.

Dafu, you brothers, please drive my donkey cart."

Lei Dafu's usually calm eyes suddenly looked at Shen Qing and asked, "Are you going too?"

He then quickly looked in the direction of Jiang Yu.

She values ​​Shen Qing more than herself. If something happens when they go out together, how will he explain it?

Shen Qing was even more confused: "What's the problem with me going there?"

She was the most suitable person to recruit soldiers and persuade people! This was her forte, and it was also a family matter. If she didn't go, who would?

"Yes, Auntie is the best! Every donkey in our village is the product of Auntie's skill!"

But if there is any danger, Auntie, don't rush in the front, let us rush in! "Feng Meng said proudly, but also reminded worriedly.

Are you kidding? Even if he gets hurt, he can't let his aunt get hurt. Now, in the hearts of his parents and the whole family, his aunt is much more important than him!

Others had the same idea.

Without them, the family is just missing one person, but without my aunt, it is unknown whether the whole family can survive this far and even get through the winter!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly advised: "Aunt, please tell us to do it, and you should stay in the village to guard it!

I will make sure that everything you ask me to do is done properly."

Huo Bing looked at her mother hesitantly, wanting her not to go, but knowing that her mother had to go.

Then Shen Qing said without a doubt: "I must go this time. Don't worry, this trip is not dangerous."

The men looked at each other hesitantly, their hearts hanging in the air, unable to let go completely.

Jiang Xiangnan realized it belatedly and asked, "Mom, if we go by car, we don't need to mobilize all the vehicles."

There are almost twenty cars in the village, and there are only about ten to twenty people going. Wouldn't it be enough for several people to take one car?

"No need, drive all the cars away, I need them." Shen Qing said directly without elaborating.

When the others saw that Jiang Xiangnan, their biological son, had not told them, they did not ask any more questions. After all, they trusted their aunt more than their own parents and uncles!

After a full meal, we finalized the itinerary for tomorrow. Everyone said goodbye and returned home to catch up on some sleep.

They had to seize every moment to replenish their strength. They had a tough battle to fight in a few days. Whether they could celebrate the New Year and have a good one depended on these few days...

It was still dark, the sky and the earth were shrouded in a gray haze, and every household in the village had lit torches.

Then one donkey cart after another drove towards the village entrance.

After gathering, we drove towards the city, winding along the rugged mountain road.

With the donkey cart as a means of transportation, walking was much faster and easier than the day before.

The journey that originally took more than four hours was suddenly shortened to two hours.

When they were almost at the destination, Huo Bing signaled everyone to stop and led Shen Qing and a few calm, reserved and skilled men to walk there.

Jiang Xiangnan was naturally the one who was not chosen. He stood on tiptoe and looked around.

"It's strange. I have the skills and strength, so why didn't they choose me?" Feng Meng asked in confusion.

Jiang Xiangnan: ...Need I ask? Of course you're not calm.

His mother is very good at judging and selecting people!

No, that's not right. This includes myself. Isn't this a disguised admission that I am not capable?

Although he is not good at martial arts, he is calm and introverted... It seems that he is not that bad, never mind, it is not unfair that he was not selected.

So, what is his mother doing?

It seems that the sister-in-law must know the inside story. Alas, he is a biological son and cannot get along with his daughter-in-law. What a failure!

When Shen Qing and his companions approached a dozen thatched huts, they saw a fire burning in the dug holes.

A small fire, surrounded by a group of shivering children.

The skinny body kept shaking to keep warm, and the eyes on the face that was so hungry that it looked unrecognizable looked particularly big, and at this moment they all kept staring at the iron pot.

Inside were a few grains of rice and some dry grass of unknown origin.
